Okay! This is 'Dark Illusions part 2'. I know that I warned you in the last chapter but I am going to warn you again anyways. There is some M rated material in this chapter so be prepared. Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX or anything related to it. Claimer: I own the story idea and the OC Jess Hernandez.
After the duel, the gang walked back to Duel Academy feeling hopeless. They all headed to the infirmary to see how Jess and Atticus were doing. Jaden had returned to his room, thinking of how he was going to beat Camula, and didn't know that Atticus held the answer he was looking for. Alexis and the others saw that Jess was sitting up in his bed and looking at his cards. Jess looked up and noticed the crew standing there then he returned to his cards.
"Jess, what are you doing?" Alexis asked alarmed.
"I'm preparing to duel that diablo diva." Jess replied bluntly.
Alexis shook her head vigorously. She didn't want Syrus and Chumley to lose a good friend.
"That is out of the question Slacker. This is a job for The Chazz." Chazz said as he covered Jess with a sheet.
And if I win, Alexis is sure to ask me to be her boyfriend! Chazz thought merrily.
Jess struggled with the sheet until he got his head out.
"One more minute…Aha! There, I won!" Jess shouted.
Chazz snapped out of his daydreaming and glared at Jess.
"Nu-uh. You've got survive round two." Chazz sneered as he grabbed the sheet and threw it over Jess's head once more.
Bastion looked at the two and shook his head in disgust. His formulas were the key to this problem, not Chazz.
"Chazz, you aren't qualified for this job. Leave it to me." Bastion said sternly.
Chazz whipped around to look at Bastion with anger in his eyes. Alexis placed her right hand on her forehead and sighed in irritation.
"That's enough!" Alexis shouted.
Both boys jumped at her voice and looked at her innocently. Alexis glared at them and then turned to keep an eye on her brother. Like it or not, she knew that there were two people capable of defeating Camula and one was already preparing.
Chancellor's office
Jonathan Sheppard sat at his desk, his head in his hands.
Why did Crowler have to go and get his soul taken? Now who will be teaching Dueling 101 to the students? He thought miserably.
Just then, his computer beeped indicating that he had a video message coming in. Sheppard clicked on the message icon and saw a shadow of a man on his screen.
"Why don't you just give up? My vampire is far too strong to be beaten by your chosen duelists." The voice said chuckling slightly.
Sheppard got angry with the person who was threatening the lives of the children and people around the world.
"Mark my words you will be stopped." Sheppard said calmly but sternly.
The voice laughed a cruel laugh.
"I would like to see your destined duelists succeed." The voice hissed as the transmission ended.
Sheppard gazed at the snowy screen for a bit. He then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes in a silent prayer.
Obelisk Blue DormZane looked through his deck making sure that his Cyber Dragons were in.
It won't be easy to defeat Camula. Crowler brought out his best monster and it still wasn't enough to defeat her. I have to ready for anything she throws at me. Zane thought.
He didn't know how prepared he needed to be.
Slifer Red DormChazz rummaged through his deck, getting angry at the little whiny voice he heard.
Boss, what do ya say that we get on a boat and leave this island, huh? Ojama Yellow asked shaking with fear.
Chazz was quivering with anger at his annoying spirit and he made sure to show it.
"WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP, YOU WEAK EXCUSE OF A MONSTER?!?!?!?!" Chazz shouted at the yellow creature.
"Mr. Princeton! I will not tolerate you shouting at the air!" a voice said.
Both Chazz and Ojama Yellow looked startled at the sound of the voice and looked around the room. Ojama Yellow floated over the doll of Crowler and searched on the shelves. (A/N: Chazz had picked Crowler up after the duel with Camula.)
While Ojama Yellow was searching the shelves, Crowler got a look at the bikini-clad monster and he didn't like the view.
"Oh that is gross! Get your butt out of my face!" Crowler yelped.
Ojama Yellow looked down at the doll and his eyestalks went as wide as the moon.
H-hey Boss! T-the voice is coming from the d-doll. The monster shouted.
Ojama Yellow then bent down and lifted the doll's arm. The spirit then placed its fingers underneath Crowler's arms and started to tickle him.
"He, Ha, Ho. S-stop that! That…that tickles!" Crowler shrieked while laughing.
Chazz stared dumbstruck at what he was hearing. The doll was talking to his spirit. He then walked over and picked the doll up.
"Hey! Be careful! I'm extremely delicate!" Crowler shouted in fear.
Just then there was a shrill beeping coming from Chazz's PDA. He opened it to see Alexis's face.
"Chazz, get down to the lake immediately! Camula is back!" Alexis shouted.
Grabbing his duel disk, and stuffing Crowler in his coat pocket, Chazz took off for the lake.
Lakeside
The six key bearers and two onlookers looked at the black carriage rode across the icy lake. Jess swore quietly in his native tongue as held onto Chumley's neck. He had convinced Chumley to let him ride on his back from the hospital. Chumley had complained all the way but instantly shut his mouth when he received a cold glare from Jaden. Camula stepped out of her carriage and looked at the six. She smirked playfully when her gaze settled on Zane. Zane glared at her with hatred in his eyes. Camula just chuckled at the look because, to her, it just made Zane is more handsome.
"Zane darling, are you ready to duel?" Camula asked seductively.
Zane just nodded keeping his gaze cold and hard. Camula frowned at not getting a rise out of him but shrugged it off. She knew that neither him nor the two idiots that she had threatened the other day could resist her. She wasn't so sure of Jaden but he was human after all. Camula deployed her duel disk at the same time as Zane did.
"DUEL!" Both of them shouted at once.
Camula: 4000/Zane: 4000
"I will start first." Camula said as she drew a card from her deck.
She looked at it and smiled joyfully. Zane had a bad feeling about that smile.
"I activate the spell card Call of the Mummy. This spell is continuous and it allows me to special summon a Zombie-type monster as long as there I don't control a monster."
Jess and the five others gasped at what Camula was saying. She could summon a high level monster on her very first turn.
"I will now activate my spell card. I will special summon my Vampire General (ATK: 2500 DEF: 0) to the field in attack mode."
A vampire dressed in a military suit and decorated with medals rose in a spiral of fog and darkness. The creature looked at Zane and smiled devilishly. Zane just kept his cool stare and shook his head.
"Now I will activate my General's ability. He allows me to send, from my deck or hand, one monster that has 'Vampire' in its name to the grave and both of us draw one card."
Camula chose one card in her hand and placed it in her graveyard. Then both her and Zane drew one card. Camula laughed as she looked at the card she had drawn. Zane scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. Camula then ceased her laughs but then placed one card facedown and set a monster facedown as well.
"I end. Your turn, dear."
Zane drew his card without a word. He then looked at it and smirked.
"Are you going to summon your Cyber Dragon, Zane?" Camula asked innocently.
Zane didn't let his surprise show but he did let his eyes betray what he was feeling. Jaden shook his head and muttered something under his breath. Alexis looked at him confused. Jaden shook his head indicating that he wasn't going to talk about it until after the duel. Zane chose a card that had helped him become the best of Duel Academy.
"I activate the spell card known as Power Bond! This card works a lot like Polymerization. But it works with Machine type monsters if they are my field or if they are in my hand. And I fuse my three Cyber Dragons in my hand to form…my Cyber End Dragon (ATK: 4000 DEF: 3800)!" Zane roared.
A monster that three heads and looked similar to the fabled Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon rose in a clash of lighting and thunder. The earth and elements shrieked their protest over the new monster and the power it wielded. Camula looked at Zane with affection and lust in her eyes. Zane ignored the look and smiled victoriously.
"Power Bond also doubles the attack power of the monster who was summoned by its effect."
Cyber End Dragon- 4000=8000
Camula looked at the creature with terror in her eyes as it let out a roar that made the earth scream in protest again. Zane smirked inwardly at the fear that was radiating from her. But his smirk was short-lived as Camula began to laugh. Everyone was confused as to why she was laughing.
"Ah, Zane. You had me scared for a few minutes I admit but at the end of your turn you take damage equal to your monster's original attack points." Camula said laughing.
Zane glowered at Camula but continued his turn.
"Cyber End Dragon, attack! Super Strident Blaze!"
The metal version of the mythical dragons roared as it took his master's command and fired three beams of light at the Vampire General. A massive explosion occurred that made a sphere of light that expanded and surrounded both Zane and Camula. Six people watched in awe at the spectacular display of power. The only one who wasn't impressed was Jaden. He had noticed before the attack hit its mark that Camula was laughing.
"I don't think this duel is over with yet." Jaden said icily.
Chazz spun around and opened his mouth to say something. But just as he was about to speak a shrill giggle was heard. The smoke and debris settled and they soon saw Camula laughing her head off. This time, however, the blast had burned away her clothes leaving her in the au natural. Bastion's, Chazz's, Jess's, and Chumley's jaws dropped at the sight of the vampire. When Zane saw Camula as well it was pretty difficult to contain his urges. Jaden was disgusted at the sight and his eyes glowed with an ominous light. Camula chuckled as she received the stares of the men. Zane played his Cyber Kirin and used its ability to prevent the damage that Power Bond would've damaged him. He then ended his turn, which made Camula squeal with delight. It was then that Jess noticed the Camula's life points hadn't dropped.
"Hey, what is wrong with that Diablo's gear? Her points should have dropped!" Jess asked surprised.
"My turn. I draw. And the reason why my life points aren't dropping is because I discarded my Vampire Guard. As long as he is in the grave I take no battle damage." Camula said in a seducing tone as she drew her card.
She looked at it and placed it in her hand. She then chose another card and placed it in her field spell zone.
"I activate a card that should be familiar to all of you. Castle Dracula!"
The dark and foreboding castle from before arose from the earth. The earth broke away revealing both Vampire Guard and Vampire General. Camula smirked as she looked at Zane.
"Next I play my Vampire Parade spell card. Here is how it works; I give up life points equal to a monster's level in increments of 100. So if I were to summon a level four monster I give up 400 life points. But at the end of my turn I take damage equal to the summoned monster's attack power. I will now give up 600 of my life points to special summon my Vampire Knight (ATK: 2600 DEF: 400)!"
Camula: 3400/Zane: 4000
A monster that black armor rose from the earth while waving a large sword in the air. The knight then looked at Zane and bellowed angrily as if it were furious that Zane hadn't obeyed its mistress. Camula chuckled lightly as her beast bellowed at her soon-to-be husband. Zane glared at Camula as he waited the summoning of her ultimate creature, fear starting to creep into his veins. Camula seemed to senses Zane's fear because she smiled sweetly at him.
"Are you beginning to see that you cannot win, my precious? It is your destiny to be my slave." Camula cooed.
Zane didn't flinch but he was nervous nonetheless.
Can I really pull out a win even when she has the Vampire Emperor? Zane thought.
Jaden seemed to know what Zane was thinking and it didn't make him one bit happy.
"Truesdale!" Jaden rumbled loudly; so loudly that everyone jumped back in surprise.
Zane looked Jaden directly in the eyes. Jaden could see the doubt in Zane's eyes and it infuriated him that the so-called 'Kaiser of Duel Academy' was going to let a duelist, who was using her body to distract him, play mind games with him.
"What, Yuki?" Zane asked.
"You're pathetic." Jaden simply replied.
Those two words snapped Zane out of his doubt. He smiled slightly at the way Jaden had destroyed uncertainty with just two words. Camula scoffed at the way Jaden had distracted Zane because she knew that it was hopeless. She then chose a card in her hand that would guarantee victory for her.
"I play the spell card, Gate of Illusions! With this spell card I have guaranteed my victory. You see, since this is a shadow game, my Gate of Illusions is now a gateway to the afterlife. Now I must offer up a soul. Hmmm, I wonder whom I should choose. Ah! I know! I will choose…"
Everyone braced themselves to defend the victim but they were unprepared for who it was.
"…little Syrus!" Camula crowed as a mirror image of herself jumped and grabbed Syrus who shrieked in fear.
Jess looked ready to run to his friend but Chumley held him back. Jaden just sighed in irritation at the emotions that Jess was showing. He then turned and left. Alexis looked after her supposed fiancé with confusion.
"Jaden!" Alexis shouted.
Jaden stopped and turned around looking Alexis in the eye. He felt his heart leap to his throat as he saw the fear and confusion in her eyes. He mentally shook the emotions away and glared at Alexis.
"What?" Jaden asked coldly.
"Why are you leaving? No doubt Camula wants to duel you after Zane loses." Alexis said calmly.
Her statement made everyone gasp and look at her in bewilderment. Jaden mentally kicked himself for forgetting that Yubel was a part of Alexis now and her words did have a logical reasoning. So he walked back and stood next to Alexis. Zane watched the exchange and knew that Alexis spoke the truth indeed. With Syrus as a hostage and near the door of rainbow colors he had no choice but to lose. Camula ended her turn and Zane drew. He added the card to his hand and did nothing else.
"Camula, continue." Zane said emotionlessly.
Camula looked thrilled that Zane was passing his turn.
"I know sacrifice my three monsters to summon my Vampire Emperor (ATK: 4000 DEF: 2000)."
The giant vampire that wore a purple royal cloak and golden armor rose from a black portal just like the duel with Crowler. Camula smirked as she looked at Zane.
"I now attack. Go my Emperor!"
The beast looked at the Cyber End Dragon and screeched so loudly that it made the dragon flinch. The vampire's attack power then rose by 8000.
Vampire Emperor-4000+8000=12,000.
"Please tell me that attack meter is broken!" Chazz yelped.
"It's not broke, idiot." Jaden hissed as a beam of darkness shot out of the Vampire Emperor's finger.
The cybernetic dragon let out a pained groan as the beam cut through its armor.
Camula: 4000/Zane: 0
Zane fell to the ground just as a dark aura surrounded his body. Camula held up a small figurine, which made the dark aura shoot toward the figure. It turned into a smaller version of Zane that Camula clutched to her bare chest.
"Zaney, you are so cute! True, you are less talkative this way but nonetheless you are so adorable!" Camula squealed like a little girl.
She then walked into her carriage and got in. she then looked at Jaden with a coy smile.
"After I rest, you and I will duel Dark King." Camula said in a seducing tone.
With that, the carriage took off for the castle leaving a glaring Jaden and a secretly fuming Alexis and Yubel.
Okay, next chappie is the final installment of Dark Illusions. Will Jaden conquer the Vampire Queen or will he succumb to her? Well, you'll have to until next week! Please Review!
